The excitement that surrounded ‘Sigue Sigue Sputnik’ in 1986 when the papers were saying that EMI had signed them for millions of pounds and that they were going to be massive was something no one could avoid hearing about. At the time I was at school (in the sixth form) in Leicester and was by that time listening more to Depeche Mode and Japan but I was intrigued to hear their first single and must admit I loved it as it raced up the charts in February!
I have only recently discovered that this song was produced by Georgio Moroder who worked with Japan on ‘Life in Tokyo,’ Donna Summer on ‘I Feel Love’ and Sparks on ‘Beat The Clock’ all of which are totally amazing pop singles and now listening to this again I can hear Georgio’s influence. There is something quite exciting about this record that I still enjoy to this day and now and again on the way home after a fun day at the office I play this!
Hope you enjoy it…
